A > St. Augustine of Hippo St. Augustine of Hippo See also WORKS OF SAINT AUGUSTINE and TEACHING OF SAINT AUGUSTINE The great St. Augustine's life is unfolded to us in documents of unrivaled richness, and of no great character of ancient times have we information comparable to that contained in the "Confessions" , which relate the touching story of his soul , the "Retractations," which give the history of his mind , and the "Life of Augustine," written by his friend Possidius , telling of the saint's apostolate. We will confine ourselves to sketching the three periods of this great life: (1) the young wanderer's gradual return to the Faith; (2) the doctrinal development of the Christian philosopher to the time of his episcopate; and (3) the full development of his activities upon the Episcopal throne of Hippo. From his birth to his conversion (354-386) Augustine was born at Tagaste on 13 November, 354. Tagaste, now Souk-Ahras, about 60 miles from Bona (ancient Hippo-Regius ), was at that time a small free city of proconsular Numidia which had recently been converted from Donatism .

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... A > Works of St. Augustine of Hippo Works of St. Augustine of Hippo St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430) was one of the most prolific geniuses that humanity has ever known , and is admired not only for the number of his works, but also for the variety of subjects, which traverse the whole realm of thought. The form in which he casts his work exercises a very powerful attraction on the reader. Bardenhewer praises his extraordinary suppleness of expression and his marvellous gift of describing interior things, of painting the various states of the soul and the facts of the spiritual world. His latinity bears the stamp of his age. In general, his style is noble and chaste ; but, says the same author, "in his sermons and other popular writings he purposely drops to the language of the people." A detailed analysis is impossible here. We shall merely indicate his principal writings and the date (often approximate) of their composition. Autobiography and correspondence The Confessions are the history of his heart; the Retractations , of his mind ; while the Letters show his activity in the Church The Confessions (towards A.D. 400) are, in the

An account of his early life and conversion, together with a reasoned defense of his Neoplatonic principles, may be found in the Confessiones Confessions ) (401). He was named the Christian bishop of Hippo (Annaba, Algeria) in 396, and devoted the remaining decades of his life to the formation of an ascetic religious community. Augustine argued against the skeptics that genuine human knowledge can be established with certainty . His explanation of human nature and agency combined stoic and Christian elements. But it was by reference to the abstract philosophy of Plato that Augustine sought to prove the existence of god Acknowledging the difficulties of divine control and foreknowledge, he used an analysis of the nature of

A > Teaching of St. Augustine of Hippo Teaching of St. Augustine of Hippo St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430) is "a philosophical and theological genius of the first order, dominating, like a pyramid, antiquity and the succeeding ages. Compared with the great philosophers of past centuries and modern times, he is the equal of them all; among theologians he is undeniably the first, and such has been his influence that none of the Fathers Scholastics , or Reformers has surpassed it." (Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church ) Elsewhere, we have discussed his life and his writings ; here, we shall treat of his teaching and influence in three sections: I. His Function as a Doctor of the Church II. His System of Grace III. Augustinism in History His function as a doctor of the Church When the critics endeavour to determine Augustine's place in the history of the Church and of civilization, there can be no question of exterior or political influence, such as was exercised by St. Leo St. Gregory , or St. Bernard

Advertisements Biography of St. Augustine Biography Works By (15) Works About (6) St. Augustine - (354-430), Bishop of Hippo and "Doctor of the Church" Accepted by most scholars to be the most important figure in the ancient Western church, St. Augustine was born in Tagaste, Numidia in North Africa. His mother was a Christian, but his father remained a pagan until late in life. After a rather unremarkable childhood, marred only by a case of stealing pears, Augustine drifted through several philosophical systems before converting to Christianity at the age of thirty-one. At the age of nineteen, Augustine read Cicero's Hortensius , an experience that led him into the fascination with philosophical questions and methods that would remain with him throughout his life. After a few years as a Manichean, he became attracted to the more skeptical positions of the Academic philosophers. Although tempted in the direction of Christianity upon his arrival at Milan in 383, he turned first to neoplatonism, During this time, Augustine fathered a child by a mistress. This period of exploration, including its youthful excesses (perhaps somewhat exaggerated) are recorded in Augustine's most widely read work, the Confessions During his youth, Augustine had studied rhetoric at Carthage, a discipline that he used to gain employment teaching in Carthage and then in Rome and Milan, where he met Ambrose who is credited with effecting Augustine's conversion and who baptized Augustine in 387. Returning to his homeland soon after his conversion, he was ordained a presbyter in 391, taking the position as bishop of Hippo in 396, a position which he held until his death.

Born in North Africa and educated there and at Rome, Augustine was bishop of Hippo from about 390 until his death. The theology he shaped dominated the West until the thirteenth century and greatly influenced the Reformation. His predestination views formed the foundation for various mission theologies and practices during those periods. Augustine's debate about free will with Pelagius empowered some missionaries with the conviction that without God's gift of Jesus Christ and faith itself all non-believers were lost. Others took Augustine's emphasis on God's ordaining of some for salvation and others for damnation as devastating for missions because destiny was already decided. The important monastery of Lerins in southern France, beginning with John Cassian, represented an Eastern tradition in the West which rejected Pelagian extremes but saw Augustine's predestinarian views as a dangerous innovation.

31. Biography: Augustine Of Hippo, Bishop And Theologian (28 Aug 430) From James Kiefer s Christian Biographies. Includes prayer in traditional and contemporary language. http://elvis.rowan.edu/~kilroy/JEK/08/28.html

Augustine of Hippo, Bishop and Theologian 28 August 430 When He was 19 and a student at Carthage, he read a treatise by Cicero that opened his eyes to the delights of philosophy. He was from the beginning a brilliant student, with an eager intellectual curiousity, but he never mastered Greek he tells us that his first Greek teacher was a brutal man who constantly beat his students, and Augustine rebelled and vowed never to learn Greek. By the time he realized that he really needed to know Greek, it was too late; and although he acquired a smattering of the language, he was never really at home in it. However, his mastery of Latin was another matter. He became an expert both in the eloquent use of the language and in the use of clever arguments to make his points. He became a teacher of rhetoric in Carthage, but was dissatisfied. It was the custom for students to pay their fees to the professor on the last day of the term, and many students attended faithfully all term, and then did not pay. In his late twenties, Augustine decided to leave Africa and seek his fortune in Rome (41:53 N 12:30 E). In Milan Augustine met the bishop Ambrose, and was startled to find in him a reasonableness of mind and belief, a keenness of thought, and an integrity of character far in excess of what he had found elsewhere. For the first time, Augustine saw Christianity as a religion fit for a philosopher.

The Ecole Glossary Augustine of Hippo Augustine ( CE), bishop, Doctor of the Church, and the most influential theologian of Latin Christianity, was born of a Christian mother and a heathen father. Early in his life he was inspired by the works of Cicero to devote his life to the pursuit of truth. He started this pursuit as a Rhetorician, then he became a Manichaean, and later a Skeptic. Ambrose , bishop of Milan, and Augustine's mother, Monica, were instrumental in his conversion to Catholic Christianity in , though this was facilitated by Augustine's study of Plotinus ' Neoplatonism, which gave him an intellectual access to mystical/spiritual experience. In , he was almost forcibly ordained presbyter at Hippo, and from to , he served as bishop. He wrote many treatises among which we find the celebrated Confessions The City of God and On the Trinity . Many of his writings were directed against heresies, particularly Manichaeism, Donatism , and Pelagianism. He is most noted for founding the Western theological tradition and establishing doctrines of the Trinity and Christology.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... A > St. Alypius St. Alypius The bosom friend of St. Augustine , though younger than he, was, after studying under Augustine at Milan , conspicuous at first as a magistrate in Rome . He abandoned that honour to follow his master into the Church . It is noteworthy that there is no mention of him as a saint in the ancient catalogues. His name was placed in the Roman Martyrology by Gregory XIII , in 1584, the evidence of his sanctity being sufficiently clear from the account of his life by St. Augustine . His conversion began when Augustine was still a Manichaean , and occurred in consequence of a discussion about the folly of those who give way to sensual indulgence . A relapse occurred subsequently, when he was dragged by some friends to witness the savage games of the arena; but the final step was taken when, in company with Augustine , in obedience to the voice, Tolle, lege , he read the text of St. Paul Non in commessationibus , etc. They were both baptized by St. Ambrose , at Milan . After living for some time with Augustine , in the monastery of Hippo , he was made Bishop of Tagaste . This was in the year 394, and took place after his return from the Holy Land, where he had seen
